Either Keith Butler is going to do something revolutionary on defense that makes the ILB's obsolete, or there will not be enough words to describe how STUPID the Steelers would look for ignoring the position this offseason despite it being their biggest need.

No comments in here about Shazier’s press conference yesterday and his “vowing to return to football”? He was still limping heavily with a cane...does not seem likely at all and is not something I would want to watch :/

I mean I get what you’re saying. The potential dangers of him returning are obvious. I doubt he ever gets back to 100% though. But the thing is - say he does, that would be an incredible thing to happen. If he plays football again, it means he’s made a full recovery. Something that wasn’t thought to be possible since that night in December.

Honestly I still think we are gonna get ran on a bit.

But besides the inside LBers I think our Dlinemen need to do better clogging the run lanes. They are great at pass rushing, and arent SUPER bad at run but i do see them getting pushed to the side or ate up a decent amount of times on inside run plays.

Also honestly i think the bigger problem in that game against the Jaguars was letting Bortles look like Brady and having them convert so many 3rd down passes. Hopefully the improved safety position will help.

Well Mike Mitchell did taunt the Jaguars before the game telling them all they'd remember who he is.....
